So in the model comparison feature of Jeep’s online site, they state the HA has sport suspension.
I can not seem to find out what that means as far as differentiating it from other models. I know the Max tow, Rubi, and Mojave differences but what makes the HA sport?

From a review site -

>>......................... Customer Preferred Package that, for an extra $8,995, gave the Gladiator a full suite of body colour – in this case, Snazzberry Pearl — features including mirrors, bumpers, grille, fender flares and door handles. That money gave the Jeep a whole bunch more, too, with pieces such as sport tuned suspension components, 20-inch wheels, leather seats and steering wheel and shift knob and the Freedom-Top three-piece modular roof system..............<<

My bet - fancy name for how it rides.

Another site states it's built for the road more than anything.

I agree here. My guess is slightly stiffer springs with possibly a tighter tune on the shocks as well. There are a sparse few high altitudes I've seen rolling down the road in my area. The 20's and "sport" suspension must definitely ride pretty harsh with solid axles front and rear.

My guess is that the HA is just a SPORT JT with her polished nails, pushup bra, hair, and makeup done up real nice.

Like that cute girl we all knew in high school that didn't know she was pretty. Till she spent the summer in Florida with her cousin, and came back Junior year a total SMOKE SHOW! 🤤..... or was that just me.

Yes exactly. Much better looking than a Sport.😘

I always thought a HA was a fancier Overland.

Kinda like they do on the WK2.

Definitely road biased, and fully loaded with the HA package.
Wife loves her Gladdy.

Compared to the JL 2 door, the JT rides like a Cadillac. Extended wheelbase and rear suspension make this so smooth.

Love the way my JTHA rides. My 91 year old dad said it rode like a Caddy....
